Ingredients:

  1. 1 - pound Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks 
  2. 1 - pound cauliflower, chopped into large bite-sized florets and stems 
  3. 2 - (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
  4. 1/2 - yellow onion, minced
  5. 3 - garlic cloves, smashed and minced
  6. 3 1/2 - cups vegetable stock 
  7. 3 tablespoons - unsalted butter
  8. 2 tablespoons - dry white wine
  9. 1 - sprig fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  10. 1/2 - teaspoon garlic powder
  11. 1 - teaspoon lemon juice (about 1/4 lemon)
  12. 8 ounces - sour cream (1 cup), at room temperature 
  13. 1/2 - cup chopped chives (about 1 small bunch)
  14. 500 - Coarse kosher salt and black pepper
  15. - Potato chips, preferably sour cream and onion, for topping
  16. - Shredded Cheddar, for serving

Directions:

In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, cauliflower, beans, onion, garlic, vegetable stock, butter, wine, thyme, garlic powder and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt. Cover and cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 hours on low.

Remove and discard the thyme sprig, and turn off the slow cooker. Add the lemon juice. To make a completely smooth and creamy soup, purée the ingredients using an immersion blender. (Or, purée the soup in a blender in two batches, transferring the puréed soup to a different pot.) To make a textured, chunky soup, smash the ingredients using a potato masher in the slow cooker. Stir in the sour cream and chives. Taste and add additional salt if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with black pepper, crushed potato chips and shredded Cheddar. For leftovers, gently reheat the soup on the stovetop or in the microwave until it just barely bubbles around the edges; don’t let it boil or the sour cream will break.
